Irvine, Calif.-based Hoag Orthopedic Institute opened in November 2010
through a partnership between Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport
Beach, Calif., and a group of local orthopedic physicians. Now, the hospital
has nearly 80 orthopedic surgeons and more than 320 physicians on the
medical staff, and is growing. Dereesa Purtell Reid, MBA, CPA, joined
Hoag Orthopedic Institute as COO just over a year ago. Here she describes
her strategies to drive growth at the hospital and her goals for the end of 2012.
